I am currently running a Behringer crossover for the mains of my kid’s band, without an EQ. I’m also using 4 floor monitors, again, without any EQ. If I wanted to start tinkering with EQ, would I then need 3 of these units? (1 for the mains and 2 for the 4 wedges, each having dedicated lines)? And would I still use the crossover that I’m already using, or just use the built in crossover on this unit? I’m still learning how to run sound for them, and the band has played dozens of successful shows with my current setup…but I’m always looking for ways to improve the sound, as long as it’s not crazy expensive and too hard for me to figure out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for watching. You would need 3 units if you wanted one EQ per channel, with the monitors being more of a priority. If you already have a crossover you wouldn't need to use it but I would keep it in the system as it will likely give you more control of the system than the built in one in the EQ. From a price to performance standpoint you could also look into something like the Soundcraft Ui16 or some of the other new digital mixers out there as most of them have built in EQs for the mains and aux sends. Three of these EQs is pretty much the same price as a Ui16. I am recording a video on it later today actually.
This is, of course, a RACK-MOUNT EQUIPMENT. With the power switch being on its BACKSIDE. Instead of on the front panel. Got it? How stupid is that, you think?
Great video- but I'm unclear on one thing. I'm not sure that the crossover works as both a low pass for the sub and and high pass for the tops, I think it may just be a low pass point for the subs and not affect the tops. Can you confirm that this crossover affects the tops also? Thanks!
Great product, and great video !! But could you explain to me how to connect this to my mixer ? I am not completely getting it 😞 On wich out and inputs do i have to connect ? Hope you can help me out.
I usually run it in line, meaning in between the mixer and an amp/speaker. In other words the output on the mixer to the EQ (be it the main/stereo output or the Aux out if I am using it on my monitors), and then from the EQ to the speaker. Do keep in mind this only works at a signal level, so you can't run a powered mixer into it.
You can, but I generally wouldn't recommend it (or any 31 band EQ), for room correction/compensation. Using an RTA mic with some room analysis software (Room EQ Wizard is free), and then adding appropriate acoustic treatment to level things out will make for a more accurate mixing environment.
@@baronofgreymatter14 For that use a 15 or 31 band graphic EQ could fit the bill. Make sure the ins and outs are compatible with your system so that you are not stuck with a pile of adapters.
Wow, you need to use a graphic EQ to bring down yout highs in this video---- before our eardrums start piercing, it is so harsh. Why promote a product -- instead of using it where it's needed?
friend, maybe you have some old equipment that you don't use like an equalizer or cross over or mixer, maybe you can donate something that we can use in the church, thank you, I'll wait for you, friend, I'm from the Philippines, thank you, bless you, friend

Peavey had the FLS system in older EQ and is presumably where Behringer got the idea
Thanks a lot! Very usefull. Just ordered one after your video

I love this unit. And i have one here! is really great products with so much features.

@@MaxSplVideos Yeah, you can connect it like that. You can also connect it to the mixer's channel/subgroup/master insert points...
Cheers!
Would this eq work with the studio monitors ?
You can, but I generally wouldn't recommend it (or any 31 band EQ), for room correction/compensation. Using an RTA mic with some room analysis software (Room EQ Wizard is free), and then adding appropriate acoustic treatment to level things out will make for a more accurate mixing environment.
Would you recommend for home high end audio use?
I wouldn't use a 31 band for any situation that a 3 band parametric EQ could handle.
@@MaxSplVideos I see. I'm trying to boost frequencies I've lost due to age . Which parametric would you recommend
@@baronofgreymatter14 For that use a 15 or 31 band graphic EQ could fit the bill. Make sure the ins and outs are compatible with your system so that you are not stuck with a pile of adapters.
@@MaxSplVideos what do you think about the pioneer SG 9500...
Hi! Would you recommend one graphic equalizer for my home audio system?
I don't like using graphic EQs for anything other than live sound, but that could just be me.
does the Xover on the sub affect the speaker signal ?
no ,, low cut sectio will afect the sub , low cut will cut all signals sub and top
Would it work to record voices, guitars, etc?
I would not recommend EQs like this for individual tracks. They are better for live use adjusting your speakers or for cutting out feedback.
👍✌️
